Not your typical beer event! "99 Bottles of Beer: Global Brewing Traditions, 2500 BC - the Present" at Museum of Anthropology in Berkeley

This is not your typical beer event! A definite must see while visiting the colorful city of Berkeley - learn about the art of beer brewing past and present at:

Beer Event at Hearst Museum of Anthropology

until September 30, 2010
every Wednesday through Sunday
from 10 am - 4:30 pm

"This lively exhibit goes well beyond beer as we know it today. Along with German steins and American beer bottles, are a stunning Incan jar for corn beer, measuring four feet, ceramic beer cups from ancient Egypt, more than four thousand years old, and a range of cups and flasks for Japanese sake.

Drawing from a collection of 1,000+ beer-related items, this exhibit of about 130 items focuses on the material aspects of beer production and consumption: objects for brewing, storing, transporting, serving, and drinking. This rich display reveals the striking unities and diversities of human cultures as they come together to celebrate the fruit of the grain."

This event is free to the public and about 1 mile from Claremont Hotel Club & Spa.
